FIGHTING RAMPANT RUDENESS WITH WIT AND WRY REMARKS
If memory serves, I described Lynn Truss's first audio book, "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" as great good fun and the author as having an unstoppable, irresistible wit. I'll gleefully use the same description for "Talk to the Hand," the indefatigable author/observer's take on modern manners - more accurately the lack thereof. Yes, Truss is highly amusing. Perhaps more importantly she's on target. ...

The Girl's Like Spaghetti: Why, You Can't Manage without Apostrophes!

The Girl's Like Spaghetti is great!
I ordered this book to use in my 6th grade classroom. The pictures show the meaning of similar sentences with and without apostrophes. Using this book brings humor to reinforcing correct punctuation in writing for students and adults alike. The book includes the rules used to know when and where to use apostrophes. This is truly a fun way to learn punctuation.

Rural Gothic
The humor of this glorious funny book resides mainly in Gibbons' masterly control of prose style; if you have only seen the movie, you know less than half of what the author has to offer. Yes, she creates a wonderful gallery of extraordinary characters, and the story clips along nicely if rather predictably, but it is the author's language that really gets you laughing out loud. Written in 1932, ...

Twenty-Odd Ducks: Why, every punctuation mark counts!
Lynne Truss

Putnam Juvenile, 2008

Commas and apostrophes aren’t the only punctuation marks that can cause big trouble if they’re put in the wrong place. Now, Truss and Timmons put hyphens, parentheses, quotation marks, periods, and more in the spotlight, showing how which marks you choose and where you put them can cause hilarious mix-ups.

I Like the Audio Better than the Hard Cover
Since 531 people have already reviewed Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation and a gozillian people have reacted with comments when they voted, I am being assertive by thinking I can add something. By the way, the other reviews are entertaining. When I bought my book, I was glad to get it. I had heard an interview with Lynne Truss on television, and I knew I ...

Great book for children of many ages
I ordered this book thinking it might be too young for my 9-year-old daughter. However, when it arrived it was pored over by not only my 9-year-old, but her 13-year-old brother as well. The copy I sent to my sister's children (ages 5 and 7) was also well-received. I recommend this book as a fun tool to teach and to re-enforce proper comma usage. It is a subtle and pain-free way to ...

Perfect Gift
Since first reading this book when it first came out, I have purchased about a dozen copies as gifts for students and for friends and former colleagues whose jobs require a lot of report writing. Though toungue-in-cheeky, this very entertaining book provides all the how-tos and whys you'll need in practically every writing situation.

I like this book because I am like Lynne Truss
I found this book very interesting, and I believe it meant a lot to me because I see the lack of courtesy today as an indication of the looming decay of civilization! My blood pressure goes up when I hold open a door and people walk past me as if I wasn't there. I rant for hours after somebody throws a cigarette butt on the ground. I was surprised so many people did not enjoy it. My guess is ...

Truss Comes Back Fighting the Extinction of Etiquette
Embittered albeit bemused finger-wagging appears to be author Lynne Truss' specialty, and I have to say I find her newest little tome on the global lack of respect and good manners even more cutting than her bad grammar colonic, Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation. Both books reflect her British sense of civility with lacerating wit and shrewd observation, but this ...

Tennyson's Gift
Lynne Truss

Wheeler Publishing, 2005

A New York Times Bestselling Author The bestselling author of Eats, Shoots & Leaves turns a fiendishly clever eye to the literary world. Tennyson's Gift is an imaginative cocktail of Victorian seriousness and farce that re-imagines the world of the nineteenth-century English poet laureate, placing him in the midst of eccentric company that includes dodgy Charles Dodgson (aka Lewis Carroll).
